Lyrics

Yes, Refugee Camp, no, it never stops, what, we're comin' back
 1970 to 2000, check it, Jericho Sound, 'No Woman, No Cry'
 We 'bout to set it, yes, yes, we 'bout to set it
 Yo, we 'bout to set it, L-Boogie, what?
 We 'bout to set it, we 'bout to set it
 Yes, we 'bout to set it, na, we 'bout to set it
 Yo, L won't take the mark though I swim with sharks
 I make the dark see the light, board the ark for forty nights
 Times reveal a broken seal like a fiend steal
 You for fake, I'm for real like Jesus Christs' last meal
 You make deals with devils, the soul descends infinite levels
 Pray to God I see the next rescripture in holy text
 Then ask to be forgiven for pre-marital sex
 In the same breath, I speak with death
 For about the times and how many joined his army over bullshit rhymes
 You see L change the topic clear as fiber-optics
 Make talk about your clothes become microscopic decisions
 Young bitches in prison messing 'round with that life
 Thug, drug dealer wife, consequence, cut like a knife
 Then we learned that only Jah and God can protect
 You know the story, housing projects is purgatory
 So, teach the youths they got more rights than Miranda
 Tell 'em this whole shit is propaganda, word
 Yo, sound system, you know what I'm sayin'?
 Jericho Sound System, turn up your sound systems
 Yo, here he comes down the road
 A black Maserati, what up Raheem? (What up? What up? What up?)
 He never fought unless necessary
 You shot at? He shot back
 The whole block felt the bang
 Last man to fight with his fists his name was Jackie Chan
 Not Charles Brownson
 Once you hear the whistle, even Grandmas is stackin' up on old wooden pistols
 Nobody's thinking by the time you're done blinking
 Cold freezer, so your body won't be stinkin'
 Read the will, he left the bills for his daughter Soleil
 Last words written just before he got killed
 Woman cry (Crying)
 Why wasn't I the one?
 Not knowing, the omen was her son Damien! (Demonic voice in background)
 Father forgive 'em, for they know not what they done
 Their meaning of fun is who can draw the quicker gun
 Easy with the fizi
 Second rate the violence
 Those who disagree hear your ashes blow in silence!
 Yo! Turn up your sound system!
 This is the Refugee Camp!
 Jericho Sound System!
 Know what I'm sayin'?
 Te Bass production!
 Refugee Camp collaboration!
 Turn up your sound system!
 Come on! Turn up your boom system!
 This is how we do, turn it up, come on!
 From the heart of Kingston, to the streets of Brooklyn-Marcy
 All the way to the highest peak of any frequency, uh!
 Illegal aliens, them all run invasions
 Broadcasting all over your radio stations (radio station!)
 Mathematics, lead me to believe
 there's mysteries in numbers
 Lightning and thunder
 Enough, ribbons in the sky (ribbon in the sky!)
 To make Stevie Wonder
 and man it works, to say I come from down under (come from down under!)
 The wiz kid got no ride
 You frontin' at the bar (you frontin' at the bar!)
 You ain't a star
 You rolled up in somebody else's car (you rolled up in somebody else's car!)
 You know the deal! BMW, Black Man Walking, came home your
 Timberlands was talkin'! (uh huh)
 (Addressing Jeru) Niggas jealous 'cause the truth I said in Zealots
 Well let me tell it, Without Premier you couldn't sell it!
 Murder that boy!
 We 'bout to set it, Yes! Yes!
 Jericho Sound!
 L-Boogie you know what I'm sayin?
 We gonna come like Star Wars, you know what I'm saying?
 We 'bout to set it!
 Nineteen ninety seven to the year two thousand and one!
 Ichi-Bang! Even in Japan!
 Yo, L you know the flavor!
 Battle star galactical!
 Who want to battle?! Battle star galactical!
 Come on! You know the flavor!
 Jericho Allstars
 (Something in Creole)
 You know what I'm saying? You know, like the V
 Remember V, the old show we used to watch that?
 Yo, you know what I mean?! We 'bout to set it!
 Know what I'm sayin'! We 'bout to take y'all, you know what I'm sayin'?!
 Remember Mork & Mindy? We used to sit back, Happy Days
 you know what I'm saying? We 'bout to set it, but yo!
 Kids ain't playin' that no more, know what I'm sayin'?
 Niggas packin' pistols, once you hear the whistle, we 'bout to set it!
 You know what I mean? Yo! You know the flavor! You know what I mean?!
 Yo man! You know what I'm saying?!
 Good Times, J.J
